Watch: Urvashi Rautela Calls Rishabh Pant 'India's Pride', Wishes Him Speedy Recovery

The young cricketer sustained multiple injuries in a road accident on December 30 and although his car caught fire due to the incident, Pant was able to safely escape in time.  

Since then, he has undergone several surgeries and according to reports, his burns are also getting better. The doctors have predicted he will need 6-9 months to recover from injuries completely and he will surely miss this year's Indian Premier League. 

Urvashi has posted several cryptic messages about the cricketer including posting a picture of the hospital Pant was in and putting the caption "Praying, love Urvashi Rautela" in a picture. 

Earlier, Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev expressed his concern for the youngster and on a lighter note, he wants to slap Pant as soon as he recovers from the injuries he sustained in that near-fatal accident. 

Kapil Dev, in a video on Uncut, said that Pant's absence has left the Indian team in tatters. Just like parents have the right to slap children when they make mistakes, Kapil wants to do the same to Pant after he has recovered.
